Rescued One Month

Well people, one month down and hopefully the rest of our lives to go. It is hard for me to believe but it has been one month since I swallowed my shyness and asked Dave to kiss me, best move I ever made. That just goes to show it is true when they say to go for something that you want in life, or least try. Dave and I are getting very comfortable with one another, he is pretty much the person that he first presented to me and that is a good thing. How many times have people started a relationship (gay or straight) only to find out the guy was a jerk and just kept it hidden long enough to hook the other person into the relationship. My guy still is the easy going man I fell in love with, maybe a little less serious than I first thought he was, and a lot more playful which to me is honestly a bonus, I like a man with a sense of humour.

He genuinely really loves me, sometimes his attraction to me is so intense that I find it a little scary, partly I think it is because I am new to dating but for now I'll just relax, appreciate it and let things take their course. The times he goes out of his way for me, the details that he stores in his head about me, only to be used later to please me or as a sign of affection, make me feel so wanted that it takes my breath away. I am lucky, I am living in a romantic comedy where every day he does something so sweet for me, but some how we end up laughing until the tears come. This is everything that I wanted but thought I would never have. Dave makes me think of that song 'When A Man Loves A Woman,' only with the gay twist regarding our relationship. I think of the man in the song who will do anything for his woman and no one can come between them. Dave makes me feel that way, I clearly see it every time I am with him, his number one priority is me, not in just words but in actions. I don't ask for this, I don't expect or demand it, this is just how he is when in love and it makes me dizzy when I think the person making him this way is me. We are finding that we have a lot in common regarding how we were raised, things we like and dislike, what we want out of this. We can talk about any subject, we are becoming good friends besides being boyfriends and I think that is important to any relationship.

I really feel Dave rescued me, I had given up on finding love, on finding romance, on finding a guy that was more interested in a relationship than sex. I honestly believed that all those good men were already part of a couple and that I would have to pick through the guys that mostly wanted one night stands. He restored my faith in love, in commitment, in a connection between two people. I understand this is all new to me and that in a few months we may realize that a relationship between us will not work. I also know I probably would still have a good friend out of this, however mostly it would show me to hold out and search for that right person, not to give up and give in to what is easy.

I hope anyone reading this who is single, will set their mind to meeting someone. It certainly is true that it will probably happen when you least expect it, just go with it but be smart enough to get out if something does not feel right. Most of all I want you to be happy also, if I can find someone then so can you and sometimes, just maybe that knight does ride up on a white horse to rescue you.

Woohoo! *does happyfeet dance*

I have some friends for whom I would wish the happiness you have found. Following your story has been such a delight. Feel free to tell us about some of those sweet moments between the two of you; you have a magnetic way of opening your heart to us.

Best of love, Steven.

Haha...I always hoped my queen would ride up on a pink unicorn! Love is a beautiful thing, dude. I'm glad that your faith has been restored with the caveat that you already know it might not be forever as it is now. The only that changes is change itself. But how about you post about something other than the stud warming your bed at night?! ;)

I loved reading this and immediately read it again. I'm a real "romantic" and love it when two guys get together and make a go of it. VERY happy for you.

I'm happy to hear that things are moving along for you and I like that you have stated that you will let things take its course. Take it slowly, too. You don't want to rush things or be rushed into things that you're not ready for or comfortable with. Steven first. Remember that!

Sometimes they don't look like knights and they don't always arrive on a sturdy steed but you're right, they're out there so keep your eyes peeled and your mind open!
Get you and your big journey from newbie to happily sorted!
